I had to write this column.First of all,I want to say if I have offended anyone with my mouth I am sorry.When you work in Brooklyn,the supervisors there are different and they want their employees to be direct.We dont have any coffee cluthces back in Brooklyn..This is unheard of.Once again.I am sorry.Do you know that I could have prevented Brads suicide? But I was just so selfish thinking about the visit..I faultered.There are several signs and here are all I avoided.Let me number them..I dont have a printer so in case anyone wants to print this out..this would be helpful.
1.The first sign of Brads suicide...he was spending a lot of time alone.I know alone and I mean alone.He was in his room for hours...on the computer playing games.So excessive aloneness is one.
2.Lack of sleep.Brad stopped sleeping.I should have seen this.He would be on the computer all night with the door closed and i didnt know what he was doiing..but he was sleeping.
3.Lack of eating.Brad started to drink 2 bottles of vodka a day and by 11 o clock he would be plastered.He would drink and drink and drink and not eat then the fights would erupt.
4.lack of interest in everyday affairs.He stopped feeding and playing with the cats.5.He started to wear black a lot.6.He started to use...in case I am not here..who cares...its only death and phrases like this.7.fascination with knives.8.lack of hygiene..he wasnt bathing.9.giving away possessions.he began to sell the stuff that I have given him.
l0.Brad started to throw away his past.Thats right..he throw all of the pictures of his parents and brother and sister.everything pertaining to the family and past he throw out.11.unreasonable behaviour..he was starting to take walks at 3 o clock in the morning and he would be gone for hours and i mean hours.when i asked him where he was he told me that its a guy thing and to mind my business.12.excessive secretness.brad had a secret life that I did not know about.He kept it hidden from me and I am still picking up the mess.and these are just some of the signs..but i want to announce that I am going to start a foundation.It will be in Brads name.You see I found out that he was using meth and I have always hated drugs.This is what meth is capable of.This is what meth has destroyed so if you think meth is harmless,,,please e mail me and i will write you back.I am alone now at 61 and I would rather be alone in this house then have a roomate that knows my business and I am preparring to go back to work to support myself and the cats and I cant work full time but I am going to help others get through this.These are the signs.vader.
